Leucoencefalopatía posterior reversible en una paciente con eclampsia posparto

Abstract: We report the clinical-radiological case of a 25 year-old female patient who developed reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) in the postpartum period, without evidence of preeclampsia-eclampsia or chronic arterial hypertension. RPLS is associated with diverse clinical entities including eclampsia. Ten days after giving birth, the patient presented with clinical symptoms of headache, elevated blood pressure and seizures. Reversible vasogenic oedema affecting the white matter in the posterior … Show more

“…However, a few patients may experience long-term neurological complications such as focal deficits secondary to the persistence of brain vasogenic edema. The latter is usually associated with cases caused by a hypertensive crisis in 20% of cases 9,10 , however, PRES may occur without hypertension (25%-30%).…”

“…Among the reported cases, common ones include hypertensive emergency, renal disease, preeclampsia/eclampsia, and immunosuppressive agents [8]. Other re-ported causes include sepsis, autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, tumor lysis syndrome, GuillainBarres syndrome, AIDS, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and acute intermittent porphyria [9,10]. PRES associated with late postpartum eclampsia has been reported before [9,11,14].…”

“…1 Debi-do a la naturaleza heterogénea de este trastorno, puede ser que diferentes mecanismos sean etiológicamente importantes en diferentes situaciones clínicas. 4,7 En cuanto a la fisiopatología, el tema aún es controvertido, sin embargo, se citan dos hipótesis: la teoría actual y más popular, sugiere que la hipertensión severa excede los límites de autorregulación, lo que lleva a un edema cerebral revolucionario; la teoría original anterior sugiere que la hipertensión conduce a vasoconstricción cerebral autorreguladora, isquemia y posterior edema cerebral. 8 Sus manifestaciones clínicas van desde cefalea, alteración de la conciencia, alteraciones visuales y convulsiones, todo esto asociado con un perfil preeclámptico bioquímico sin alteraciones, incluso en ocasiones sin relación con trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo.…”

“…Los déficits focales son raros, salvo en los que se deben a urgencia hipertensiva, hipertensión arterial, y si está presente, es moderada o normal en 20% de los casos. 4 La resonancia magnética es el estándar de oro para realizar el diagnóstico; en aquélla se encuentran múltiples variables de presentación que, incluso, la suma de ellas supera al 100%. Por un lado, se reporta que en 24% de las pacientes, se presenta sin lesión paren-RESUMEN Introducción: El síndrome de encefalopatía posterior reversible (PRES por las siglas en inglés Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome) es una entidad clínica caracterizada por cefalea, alteraciones visuales y crisis convulsivas.…”
